[southernsoul 773]

Southern soul have you had your meet w surgeon yet? Any pre op diet? I meet w mine May 21. Hoping I don't get a two week liquid diet. :/

Yes, I've been meeting with my surgeon monthly since Feb. He's monitored my required 3 month physician diet, which has just been monthly weigh-ins & a quick face to face with him. I have to do 2 weeks of low carbs, <20 per day, lean Protein & veggies mostly.

Okay so how do people sleep with all these wires? I cant wait until this sleep test is over!

[Masko5 74]

Brandnew- I hear ya....I had to do it twice...once without the cpap and one with...the one with the cpap was as if I was punched in the nose for eight hours straight. Both I swear I didn't sleep but the tech said I did...I just think I faked it well.... Stick to it, u can do it....is for one night!

Masko5: I got through...thought I was gonna have the best sleep ever...boy was I wrong lol

I been sleeping with à cpap machine for the last 7 years. Thevgood thing about it is once i found out i needed one it helped so much. Since ive lost some weight the pressure level have been lower. With surgery soon, hopefully i will no longer need the machine one day soon..

Good morning my fellow June sleevers,

My Psych appointment went well yesterday it was about 2 1/2 hrs long and very simple. I felt it was a waste of time, but something that has to be done to have the surgery.

So I made it through that, now I will start my 2wk liquid diet on the 29th then the 8 hour nutrition class on the 30th. After that it's the waiting game til the 12th. SO EXCITED!!!!!

Hi all,

My date is June 19th, trying to stay calm and focused! So happy to find a place for support as due to my job I am not able to attend any groups!

I am a band to sleeve revision scheduled for June 10th as well. Best of luck to you!!!!!! Keep in touch!

I am also a band to sleeve revision on 6/10! So excited. I am not looking forward to the pre-op diet, but that is a small hurdle.

I am in Cincinnati with Dr. Brad Watkins.
